“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
In honor of Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel’s birthday, March 2 is Read Across America Day. So sit down with someone, read to them, or have them read to you. Go to far-off places … get a little lost.

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Or serve up a menu of Green Eggs and Ham!
I’m with the grandgirls, so I’m sure reading will be part of today!
My Great Aunt gave me Dr. Seuss’ Sleep Book way back in the early ’60s. It took me years to finish reading it without falling asleep! Years later, when I had children of my own, it became a favorite of theirs, too. I always include Dr. Seuss’ Sleep Book in every baby shower gift basket, along with A.A. Milne’s When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. Reading Dr. Seuss to the kiddos is a very good thing.
I’ve never read his Sleep Book. It’s on my wish list now! Thanks for the tip, Marie.
